Conan Exiles fans better get their servers in order as Funcom just released chapter three of its Age of War season for all platforms, just in time for the holidays. As we’ve been covering, this update focuses on PvE invasions as well as extended functionality for NPCs.
“For the first time ever, besiege a fully destructible fortress and take on the leader of an invading empire,” Funcom says. “The fortress, built using player building pieces, is fully destructible, just like in PvP. However, in this case, the player takes on a battalion of elite Stygian soldiers in a fully PvE encounter. Bring down the walls with simple weapons, explosives, or even trebuchets, then face down the Stygian commander.”
Of course, what has us even more excited is the chance to run a tavern in-game, though as MJ noted in her preview, a lot of the tavern stuff is tucked behind the paid battle pass and cash shop.
“Players can now breathe life into their bases by building and opening their very own tavern. Once the barkeep has been freed from an enemy purge camp and brought to your tavern, this dynamic area will over time fill with NPCs that you can hire to join your ranks. No longer does the wheel of pain need to be the main source of followers. […] Chapter 3 brings its own new paid Battle Pass and Bazaar cosmetics, letting you expand the Aesir building set to create epic wooden longhouses straight out of legend. Unique tavern decorations, an expanded dungeon set, emotes, pets, cosmetic armors and weapons, and more await. And for something completely new, get the colossal chess board and challenge both friend and foe, complete with life-size board pieces.”
